In his conference speech, a tearful Andy Burnham focused on a comment from Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, made prior to the death of the Prime Minister's father being made public. 'I want you to know it made me feel - utterly determined to prove him wrong'

Absolutely disgusting from Burnham. How he could use the death of his father in that way is beyond belief & beyond the political pale.

That's a truly shameful thing for Burnham to say. Using his father's death to try and get sympathy points.

That is tacky from Burnham.

STAGED PATHETIC NONE KNEW HIS DAD WAS DYING OF DEMENTIA HOW LOW CAN YOU GET

Imagine using a family member for political theatre @UKLabour & @andyburnham happily supported genocide but he's pretending to cry about his aged dad's passing

What about Scotland? Do we still get shafted for the centuries of lies, pilfering, plundering, ethnic cleansing, murder etc. Our culture, our languages, our history doesn't matter. Our country is shite. This is what they keep telling us. This abusive relationship must end.

Absolutely disgusting Burnham

He’s a w⚓️ using his dad to snipe at Swinney. We are fed up of giving our resources away for pennies.

Then wtf did you mention that he said it on the day your father died Burnham? 😒

There is only one way to prove John Swinney wrong have a referendum but you won’t your oligarch supporters arses would collapse

He is trashing Scots. Like they all do.

Just watched an actor give a decent performance there. Sorry for the loss of his dad but he’s using that point score.

John swinney is correct

Using your own father's death to justify denying the people of Scotland a choice on how they are governed is extremely low. Admit it, Burnham you've lost the argument and your morality.

Absolutely disgusting from @andyburnham - shame on you!

BS! 🫣 How low can you go.

Dishonored his own father to score a political point. Never seen anything like that in my life. Bloody hell.

Yes @andyburnham is determined that Scotland will never be free of this toxic union

He’ll be gone in six months.

Fucking liar

Is it Theresa May again?

There you go natz ... saying 'WM is finished' & 'Burnham is the last PM ever' tuned out to be a bad negotiating tactic for indyref2. Swinney moved indy from 'friendly departure' to 'destroy the UK'. You're no longer 'daft nats' you're now an enemy of the UK. Well done. 🤣

Blaming the leader of the Nationalists party in Scotland. Antagonising the Nationalists leader in NI with a Unionist Judge overturning a 28 year blocking of a certain route. Next up Wales. Almost like they didn’t like the announcement of the Celtic Alliance Initiative🤔

What is it with Labour PMs using their dad's to point score, he wasn't a Tool Maker too, was he?

I’m absolutely certain that John Swinney did not know about your dad

Shameful from Burnham to pull a performative grief stunt. Absolutely sickening. Swinney's statement is nothing to do with his father's death.

Disgusting

Crocodile tears from a fkn con man

Has he been taking acting lessons My money says Aye

How about this, fuck off cunt and don't try this pish with us.

👏👏👏

I think this shows more about Burnham than anything else. Despicable opportunism.

The Prime Minister putting the ungrateful regional administrator of the North, Swinney, in his place. 💥
